Answer:

Amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

Explanation:

According to Archimedes principle, a body will float in a fluid if the upthrust experienced by a body is equal to the to the weight of the body.

Also, the volume of seawater displaced equals the volume of freshwater in the cup.

From the above principle, since the freshwater and cup floats in the seawater, their combined weight equals the upthrust.

Therefore, mass of equal volume of displaced seawater = mass of freshwater + mass of cup

Mass of freshwater = density of freshwater * volume

density of freshwater = 1 g/mL; volume = 375 mL

mass of freshwater = 375 mL * 1 g/mL = 375 g

mass of seawater = 375 + 15 = 390 g

mass of salt in 375 mL seawater = mass of seawater - mass of freshwater

mass of salt = (390 - 375) g = 15 g

Since 15 g of salt are dissolved in 375 mL seawater, mass of salt in 1 L of seawater =(1000 mL/ 375) * 15g = 40 g

Therefore, amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

A 0.89% (w/v) sodium chloride solution is referred to as physiological saline solution because it has the same concentration of
maks197457 [2]
1) 0.89% m/v = 0.89 grams of NaCl / 100 ml of solution

=> 8.9 grams of NaCl in 1000 ml of solution = 8.9 grams of NaCl in 1 liter of solution

2) Molarity = M = number of moles of solute / liters of solution

=> calculate the number of moles of 8.9 grams of NaCl

3) molar mass of NaCl = 23.0 g /mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g / mol

4) number of moles of NaCl = mass / molar mass = 8.9 g / 58.5 g / mol = 0.152 mol

5) M = 0.152 mol NaCl / 1 liter solution = 0.152 M

Answer: 0.152 M

The central core of an atom is called the __?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: Atomic Nucleus!

Explanation: All atoms have a dense central core called the atomic nucleus. Forming the nucleus are two kinds of particles: protons, which have a positive electrical charge, and neutrons, which have no charge.

(Yes, it was from google.)

hat is the percentage of water in the following compound? Answer using three significant figures. Sodium carbonate decahydrate,
BigorU [14]
You need to find the whole molar mass of the compound using the periodic table to add the values. 

Na2CO3= (2 x 23.0) + 12.0 + (3 x 16.0)= 106 g/mol
H2O= 10 x [ (2 x 1.01 ) + (16.0) ]= 180.2 g/mol

the total molar mass is 106 + 180.2 = 286.2 g/mol

the percentage of water you can find by doing "parts over the whole"

H2O%= 180.2 / 286.2 X 100= 63.0%

What will be the charge of an atom containing eight protons, nine neutrons, and 10 electrons?
Wittaler [7]
The charge would be -2 because there are 2 more electrons than protons, and electrons have a negative charge.

Calculate the mass, in grams, of Ag2CrO4 that will precipitate when 50.0mL of 0.20M AgNO3 solution is mixed with 40.0mL of 0.10M
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

1.327 g Ag₂CrO₄

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • 2AgNO₃(aq) + K₂CrO₄(aq)  → Ag₂CrO₄(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)

First we need to <em>identify the limiting reactant</em>:

We have:

  • 0.20 M * 50.0 mL = 10 mmol of AgNO₃
  • 0.10 M * 40.0 mL = 4 mmol of K₂CrO₄

If 4 mmol of K₂CrO₄ were to react completely, it would require (4*2) 8 mmol of AgNO₃. There's more than 8 mmol of AgNO₃ so AgNO₃ is the excess reactant. <em><u>That makes K₂CrO₄ the limiting reactant</u></em>.

Now we <u>calculate the mass of Ag₂CrO₄ formed</u>, using the <em>limiting reactant</em>:

  • 4 mmol K₂CrO₄ * \frac{1mmolAg_2CrO_4}{1mmolK_2CrO_4} *\frac{331.73mg}{1mmolAg_2CrO_4} = 1326.92 mg Ag₂CrO₄
  • 1326.92 mg / 1000 = 1.327 g Ag₂CrO₄
